Revinate appoints seasoned SAAS executive Ankur Bhandari as CFO to accelerate next phase of growth
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA (September 2, 2025) — Revinate, hospitality’s leading direct booking platform, today announced the appointment of Ankur Bhandari as Chief Financial Officer. Bhandari brings over two decades of finance and operational leadership experience from Fortune 500 companies and leading private equity-backed firms across SaaS, healthcare, and financial services.
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Revinate as the company accelerates the rollout of its omnichannel journeys powered by its hospitality-specific customer data platform (CDP) – a breakthrough that’s already being deployed across global hotel brands, groups, and properties to unlock massive growth opportunities.
“Ankur’s track record of scaling high-growth businesses makes him the perfect partner as we enter our next chapter of growth,” said Bryson Koehler, CEO of Revinate. “His expertise in growth engineering and operational excellence will be invaluable as we accelerate the rollout of our omnichannel journeys and expand our leadership in direct bookings.”
Bhandari joins Revinate from TurnRiver Capital, where he served as Head of Portfolio Finance. Previously, he held CFO roles at portfolio companies of leading private equity funds, including CVC and Madison Dearborn, and served as treasurer for two Fortune 500 companies, including Omnicare Inc. He will report directly to CEO Bryson Koehler. His experience spans successful exits, complex M&A transactions, and scaling businesses across multiple industries.
“What attracted me to Revinate was its unique blend of purpose and performance,” Bhandari said. “Hospitality is fundamentally about creating lasting human connections, and Revinate empowers hotels to achieve this at scale through its data-driven approach. I believe this is a large untapped market, and finance has a unique opportunity to be a catalyst for scaling Revinate and potentially transforming the industry.”
Omnichannel journeys: Scaling personalized guest experiences
Revinate’s omnichannel journeys represent a significant leap forward in hospitality technology. Powered by the company’s industry-leading, hospitality-specific customer data platform, this capability is now being rolled out to global hotel brands, groups, and properties, enabling them to orchestrate seamless, personalized guest experiences across email, SMS, voice, and digital channels throughout the entire guest lifecycle.
The omnichannel journeys build on Revinate’s successes of driving direct bookings for hotels. The company’s platform currently powers over 950 million Rich Guest Profiles across 12,500+ hotels, having generated more than $17.2 billion in direct revenue for its customers to date.
A proven track record of scaling success
Throughout his career, Bhandari has demonstrated expertise in “growth engineering” — the science and art of identifying opportunities and creating processes for continuous improvement.
“I’m passionate about the art and science of growth engineering — digging deep to uncover opportunities, structural process re-engineering, and instilling disciplined weekly reporting cadences that drive iteration and embed lasting, growth-oriented habits across the organization.”
Bhandari holds an MBA in Finance from the Indian Institute of Management and a Bachelor of Commerce from SRCC, Delhi University. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, playing golf, and photography.
